Firth House Farm is a unique opportunity to acquire a substantial, stone, Grade II listed farmhouse with far-reaching countryside views, set in the picturesque village of High Ellington in North Yorkshire. The property is complemented by planning permission to convert a farm steading into three 3-4 bedroom dwellings with ancillary garaging, and the option to purchase approximately 8.24 acres of additional land.
The farmhouse itself is steeped in character, featuring stone flagged flooring, exposed beams, meat hooks, various alcoves, timber window shutters and log-burning stoves set on stone hearths. It requires modernisation but offers a wealth of period charm and versatile living space, including six bedrooms, five of which are doubles, and a house bathroom with a walk-in storage area. The property benefits from private parking and two separate gardens, one adjacent to the house and another across the lane, ideal for a vegetable garden and orchard.
The farm steading, which forms an extensive range of modern and traditional stone farm buildings, has planning permission to create three residential units with ancillary garaging. The site offers a substantial development opportunity with a large courtyard and good road access. The additional land, extending to about 8.24 acres, provides further potential for those looking to create additional privacy, leisure facilities or equestrian use.
Situated in the lower Wensleydale village of High Ellington, the property is within easy reach of the Georgian market town of Masham, which offers a range of amenities including independent and national retailers, cafés, public houses, and the Black Sheep Brewery. The historic market town of Leyburn, with its excellent local shops, filling station, doctors' surgery, dentist, primary and secondary schools, and Tennants Auctioneers, is just 9 miles away.
The farmhouse is also well-placed for access to the A1, Northallerton train station, and Leeds Bradford Airport, offering connections to London, Edinburgh, and international destinations. The nearby towns of Ripon and Bedale provide further educational opportunities, including Ripon Grammar School.
This is a rare chance to create a stunning family home, alongside a development project, in a tranquil rural
